Doctoral study
UGX 5,400,000 plus affordable premiums
The annual doctorate fee includes supervision, research-methods training, library and data access, Amagezi research tools and examination. The Doctoral Seminar Premium is UGX 300,000 a year in taught and seminar years. It funds the seminar series, doctoral colloquia, external examiner costs and support to present at one conference.
A candidate in a laboratory discipline pays the same laboratory tier premium as any other student, so the research is properly resourced.

What applicants ask about money
- How much does a Forward University degree cost?
- A standard bachelor's degree is UGX 2,400,000 a year before any applicable laboratory premium. The complete table of 147 programme prices, from annual and semester fees to whole-programme totals, is published on /fees, and /fees/calculator applies eligible reductions and payment plans.
- What is included in the fee, and what is charged separately?
- The fee families page lists each line and states whether it is included or separate for degrees, the Higher Education Certificate and Forward College. Assessment, supervision and the cooperative education placement support sit inside tuition rather than being billed as extras.
- Is there funding, a bursary or a payment plan?
- Yes. /fees/funding publishes five access schemes, automatic rural, sibling and HEC reductions, and seven payment plans. Forward Access Scholarships cover full or half tuition including any premium and are funded from six per cent of gross tuition plus donor gifts.
- Will fees rise once I have started?
- The published fee commitments include the rules Forward is binding itself to on increases, refunds and what happens if a programme is delayed. Read them on the fees page before you apply.
